For the past month, leaked Twitter documents have been coming out which show specific instances of how ALL US government agencies have leaned on/collaborated with Twitter to promote US internal and foreign policy, to censor and monitor individuals and groups with undesirable messages, to suppress news and information that would go against the establishment, to test psyops tactics, and to produce false evidence for cases like Russiagate.
We’ve all suspected of what’s been going on. Don’t think for a second this is restricted to Twitter. Facebook, Youtube, Reddit and all other US- and EU-based social media are most certainly doing the same thing. It’s good to finally have some evidence!
Matt Taibbi was hand picked to be Musk’s towel boy for leaking the twitter files in the way musk wants.
Regardless of what you think of him (and having followed his work for ages, I disagree with you), this is a nice and easy list to keep in mind as a source. And his name is recognizable enough, that it bears weight as a source.
I’ve followed his work for a long time too. In fact, I used to love his work. I think he’s gone downhill in some ways. Agree to disagree I guess.
